My situation is pretty similar. I'm full-time student right now, but in the private college, so i won't get PGWP. My employer is eligible for LMIA, and he can do it for me. My question is, can i apply for work permit with LMIA from my employer, while i'm still a student?
Thank you!

Yes, you can apply to change your status to worker if you have an approved LMIA.
